How to add Advanced Security to context menu in Windows 10

Having the command "Advanced Security" in the context menu of File Explorer is a useful option when you need to change file system permissions on a file or a folder. By default, it does not exist in Windows 10, so the user has to click numerous dialogs to get to the Advanced Security dialog, including first opening the file or folder's Properties. Here is how to save your time and add the Advanced Security command directly to context menu in Windows 10.

To add Advanced Security to the context menu in Windows 10, you need to apply a simple Registry tweak. For those who prefer to do it manually, there are instructions below. I also prepared a ready-to-use Registry tweak so you can just apply it without manual Registry editing. An undo file is also included.
